Book Description
What happens when the passionate and secretive world of fashion is pried open by an outsider - a straight-talking professional of the business world? Anwar is hired by the National Fashion Council to develop the business side of the industry. However, with his own passionate side re-kindled, he steps beyond the immediate façade of glamour. He discovers two worlds – one of intense talent and creativity to make beautiful outfits and the other equally intense but of baser intent - jealousies, hate, narcissism, exploitation and the relentless need to control and self-aggrandize. The gatekeepers of the NFC led by veteran designer Meera and provocateur Dinesh thwart any attempt to challenge their stranglehold on the industry. However, having sipped the elixir of fashion and with missionary zeal, Anwar decides to confront them with the help of his ex-business school colleagues who vex their own ambitions and frustrations. A tabloid journalist with little scruples, Shailaja, waits in the wings to expose all the seedy doings of the fashion world. Where will the no-holds barred conflict end and who will be destroyed along the way?

Book Description
In our country, cricketers are revered as demigods, and the game is more of a religion than a sport. Needless to say, fans are yearning for anecdotes about cricketers both on and off the field. ‘Cricket Kathas’ is the ideal book for cricket enthusiasts. There are intriguing tales about several champion cricketers who inspired many of us to enjoy the game. The stories do not just feature Indian players, but also those from Australia, Pakistan, England, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and New Zealand. Don Bradman is widely regarded as the greatest batsman in history, but only a few people are aware that he was also an exceptional billiards player. In fact, he vanquished World Champion Walter Lindrum without even giving him a chance. Most of us who grew up watching cricket in the 1970s and 1980s wondered if Vivian Richards would have been successful against his own fast bowlers. Richards and Marshall once fought hard in a county match that will go down in history as one of the most epic battles in county cricket. Nobody can dispute Sachin Tendulkar’s brilliance, but how many of his ardent fans are aware that he once batted in the nets with his eyes closed? These and other incredible stories are collected in ‘Cricket Kathas’.

Women vs. Capitalism
Author: Vicky PrycePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 1787383644
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The free market as we know it cannot produce gender equality. This is the bold but authoritative argument of Vicky Pryce, the government's former economics chief. Women vs Capitalism is a fresh and timely reminder that, although the #MeToo movement has been hugely important, empowerment of the mind will not achieve full power for women while there remains economic inequality. Pryce urgently calls for feminists to focus attention on this pressing issue: the pay gap, the glass ceiling, and the obstacles to women working at all. Only with government intervention in the labor market will these long-standing problems finally be conquered. From the gendered threat of robot labor to the lack of women in economics itself, this is a sharp look at an uncomfortable truth: we will not achieve equality for women in our society without radical changes to Western capitalism.

Book Description
The Country of Kent, situated in the south-east corner of England, is famous for the “white cliffs of Dover” which face the French coast only 20 miles away. In the centre of the Country there is an area known as The Weald, often referred to as “the garden of England” as it is abundant in the growing of fruit of all kinds and until the 1970’s grew most of the hops used in the production of English beer. Our fictional story concerns the lives of a variety of residents in a typical village in this area immediately prior to the 2nd World War and throughout until its end in 1945; their romance, successes, failures, disappointments and tragedies. The author lived throughout this period in a village in The Weald of Kent.
